The South Africa vs Netherlands ODI series will resume tomorrow afternoon with a match in Benoni. The two nations met in the first ODI of their ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series in November 2021. That game ended with no result due to rain.
Soon after, the two teams postponed the rest of the series due to COVID-19. After a year and a half, the South Africa vs Netherlands series will conclude with two matches on March 31 and April 2. Benoni and Johannesburg will host the two matches.
Before the series resumes, here's a look at the head-to-head record between South Africa and New Zealand in the ODI format.
